poor white people of the North. We
occasionally hear of outrages about cleo

NEWS NOTES FROM WASHINGTON

The decrease of the public debt for the month
of May was about $9,000,0O0.
Senator Pugh, of Alabama, has laid 500 that
Cleveland will be renominated and elected.
Mr.. Pasco, of Florida, will be the first Con-
federate private who has ever been chosen to the
United States Senate.
There are row thirty eight aspirants for the
seat on the Supreme Bench made vacant by the
death of Justice Woods.
There is good deal of talk in Washington
about there being extra session of Congress,
to convene some time in October.
The President is still enjoying himself fishing
in the Adirondacks and will not return to Wash
ington until the latter part of next week.
Ben. Perley Poore, one of the most widely
known newspaper correspondents in the United
States, died in Washington on Sunday last.
The fund for Mrs. Logan, raised by the Wash
ington friends of the late Senator Logan, amount
ed to $685. 03445, all of which has been invested in
Government bonds for her benefit
The people of Washington are very indignant
because Maryland was not represented in the Ma
tional drill which took place in that city last week,
and indeed it seems strange that not even Balti-
more was represented.
Secretary Fairchild is so overrun with office
seekers, it is said, that he has to retreat to his
house in order to get time to transact important
public business. What Mr.. Fairchild ought to
do is to make the ofice-b eggars retreat, instead
of retreating himself.
The band which attracted the greatest atten-
ton during the National drill was from Milwaukee,
Wis, and was composed entirely of boys, ranging
in age from eight to seventeen years. Their
music is said to have been very fine and the boys
were highly complimented.
1t is rumored that the Pope will bestow the
Golden Rose on Miss Caldwell, who gaze $780,
600 to the Catholic University to be erected in
Washington. The wife of Gen. Sherman is the
only American woman who has hitherto received
the Golden Rose, mark of distinction bestowed
on women who have rendered great service to the
Roman Church.

AGAIN IN THE FIELD.

Thirteen members of the Hartford county bar
have written letter to Hon. James D. Waters,
Associate Judge of the Third judicial Circuit,
requesting him to allow the use of his name for
denomination to that office. They says "believing,
as we do, that your reelection to the position you
have so honoraby filed will subserve the public
interests, and that large majority of our people
concur with US in that opionion, we respectfully
suggest that you announce yourself, or permit your
friends to announce you as candidate" In re-
ply to this letter Judge Waters says:
"Gentlemen 1T would be disingenuous on my
part to ignore or attempt to disguise the gratif-
cation which your letter of this date just handed
to me, affords. No one can be insensibe to COM
mendation from a source qualified and entitled to
give it. The request which you convey in such
kindly terms is entirely in harmony with my
highest ambition for the future / am neither
able nor willing to live without labor. The work
to which have been devoted during the past ff-
teen years is, for the most part, congenial-and,
think may be excused for saying here, my pleas
ures have been enhanced and labors materially
lightened be the unvarying kindness, courtesy
and consideration of the Bar-or rather the two
Bars-of the Circuit. Besides I have now reach
ed the age at which one naturally shrinks from
an entire change of employment, and mis-
trusts on that account his ability to begin anew.
But reorganize as you do, the fact that an able,
impartial and honest judiciary is a matter of the
greatest concern to the entire community and
would willingly allow my own wishes or the
Partially of my especial friends to interfere with
that freedom of choice which the good of the public
requires.
"With the assurance which have had for some
time, and which your letter confirms, that the Bar
of my county desires my continuance on the Bench,
I shall feel perfectly free to present myself as q
candidate for the suffrage of the voters of the
Third Judicial Circuit. Whether your judgment
shall be affirmed or reversed at the polls I will
always cherish the memory of your approval as
the browning reward of sixteen years service.
am very truly and respectfully yours,
JAS. d. WATERS"

M9-THE UNION had something to say last week
about the indiscriminate slaughter of cattle upon
the assumption that they were afflicted with pleuro-
pneumonia. Another hardship that is being prac-
ticed upon dairymen is the quarantining of their
herds and thus closing up their business. man
named AMT, who has dairy on Mine Bank lane
and MIXED forty odd COWS, had the whole herd
guaranteed for ninety days, although the COWS
looked sleek and fat and were to all appearances
in the best of health. Samples Of milk from these
COWS were lately taken to Prof. Tonry, who care
fully analysed them and this is what he says !:
"The microscope shows in each sample clear,
uniform field of fat globules and no casts, clots,
tissue or germs. There is no deficiency in any
one Of the constituents Of either sample and each
constituent in each sample is above the minimum
for good milk. The samples are good and whole
some." So here is at least one case in which the
over-zealous 'inspectors" have made big mis-
take, and If they have erred in this one, why not
in others? ~
